Have a new idea?
 | wbarthol says: It would be great if there was another property on tasks called "Hide Until" where you could put either a date/time or a delta from the due date (5 days before, 1 week before, etc.). This would completely hide the task from your list until that date is passed.

| jz3333 says: That's a really good idea. Or at least a hide option, for tasks that should get done, but I don't want them there for now, and I'll come look at it later. Posted 5 years ago |
| solarusdude says: A "Hide Until" feature is exactly what I'm looking for. There are a bunch of tasks that I have (including repeating ones) that cannot be completed before a certain date and I'd rather not see them until I can do them. I'm a strict follower of GTD and one of the GTD rules is to only have completable, tangible actions on the task list (also known as the 'next actions' list). Currently, I have to manage deferred tasks by keeping them in a tickler file and then entering them into RTM when they become do-able. Posted 5 years ago |
| deterb says: If you use a smartlist to manage your doable tasks, this particular idea from the previous forum may do what you need:

 | ranbarton says: Rajjan, well said. I'd love to have this suggestion "pinned" in some obvious place so that we could easily refer people to it and avoid the endless threads that rehash the start date/hide until issue. It's a recurring theme, and maybe Bob will code something to address it, but until he does, I'd love to see it not crop up in a new thread every week. Posted 5 years ago |
| trav says: Please implement this! I'm waiting for this function since the first days of RTM and it would be VERY useful for me. Posted 1 year ago |
 | dvhart says: This would come for free with the start_date field suggested elsewhere. Posted 1 year ago |
 | maxcantor says: I actually expected this to happen when I used "Repeat After". I was extremely confused that when I made a task which repeats after a year, and then completed it, it seemed to just sit there but with a changing due date. I didn't do ANYTHING with due dates on the task--and it was still sitting there, staring me in the face, even though I didn't need to think about it for another 365 days! Posted 1 year ago |
| rendlm5 says: THIS IS IN FACT A START DATE, as discussed here: Posted 1 year ago |
| dhgunn says: A creation date is the day a task is created. A notional start date is the day the user wishes to see the task in his or her list. They are not the same thing. Posted 1 year ago |
| gymnae says: I really would like a simple "hide until" function as well! Posted 1 year ago |
